take the adv. intake and exhaust duration. add them.
take the sum, divide by 4.
subtract the LSA from that
multiply by 2.
for example, a comp XE250H is 250/260 adv. 206/212@.050, on a 110 LSA.
so 250+260=510. 510/4=127.5 127.5-110=17.5 17.5*2=35, the cam has 35 degrees of overlap. widen the LSA to 116, and you get 127.5-116=11.5 11.5*2=23, so the cam would have 23 degrees of overlap.
BTW, the overlap numbers I was quoting for the stock cams I was assuming a 114 LSA, since I could find advertised durations for them, but not LSA, and 114 seems reasonable...
